title: Wrist pain: a systematic approach to diagnosis.
abstract: Numerous radiographic procedures are now available to help determine the cause of wrist pain. This paper presents a wrist-pain algorithm that defines the relative roles of various radiographic techniques in the evaluation of patients with wrist pain. Practical application of the algorithm is demonstrated through illustrative cases.
